And the basic overhaul of the directory structure has been pushed up. Next step is to update the paths 🙂

Wasn’t sure where to put ui/mwedit.h as it both defines the main view and sets up the main function entry point so I left it in ui/ for now. It may be moved to mwedit/ at some point down the road.

Okay, old CreaturePage files have been removed from the repository and their properties have been removed from ui/Resource.h locally so they’ll be in the next push. I also confirmed that the new creature page views were being used in the project before I removed the old ones just to be thorough:
ui/EsmCreatureDlg.cpp:…[Read more]

Sounds good. I’ll go ahead and tag both of the older files for the dialogue and remove them from the build script. 🙂

That’s bound to fix a bug or two!

There are two sets of CreaturePage files in ui/: those with the Esm prefix and those without. The ones without don’t appear to have their classes used in the project but the files are included in the ones with the prefix. Both make heavy use of the MFC code generation stuff so it’s a little hard to tell if the ones without the prefix are actually…[Read more]

There’s also the proposed Transatlantic Tunnel that, sadly, will likely never the light of day. Not so much the cost (can be ignored as the various governments can make it happen if they really want to) but the materials and potential safety concerns of such a thing. Without proper compartmentalization, you’ll have a Titanic-like situation.…[Read more]

Okay, started on the ui/ directory this morning and reached the dialogue boxes that go with the game files so I need to remove the prefix from them as well

Yep, I’m slow these days but at least I’m getting back into it after almost a decade 🙂

What did you expect from a doughnut factory? Fried chicken? 😛

Okay, looks like the bitmap code isn’t used in the workflow so I’ll tag it for removal with PCX support. For bitmap icons, the code uses CBitmap in the Windows API instead, which will be replaced with whatever the new GUI toolkit uses.

A Fallout and Elder Scrolls theme park would be cool but I think the former would be more popular. People in general are drawn to post-apocalyptic settings. Outside Vegas, in the desert, would probably fit the theme more as they wouldn’t need to make too many changes to make it look like a wasteland even if they don’t use the New Vegas…[Read more]

Okay, the files in common/, file/, and windows/ have all been renamed according to the new naming convention. Next is to wrangle the new ui/ folder, renaming the files and determining which ones belong in the mwedit/ directory before fixing up all of the paths (that will be even more painful 😛 ). All of those renames have been pushed up 🙂

That one works!

Good ones!

In honor of the holidays:

That page hasn’t been updated in ages! It mentions supplying a VCR 😛

It’s a really good looking place to stay. Could also be fun to have a Halloween event there or the like.

Used to have a collection of some model cars when I was a kid. Nothing special but they were fun to look at on the shelf. No idea what happened to them.

Said it before but…[Read more]

Not the wheat! Yeah, invasive species are a bit of a problem here as well. We have a ton of invasive plants that clog our waterways. Not sure about insects, though

As mentioned, browsing Atlas again and came across this cool location: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/singer-castle

It even looks like it’d be something from Scooby Doo 😛

Fixed up a few more file names in game/morrowind/ and moved a cursor file from the same to data/. Not sure why it wasn’t in the old project/res/ directory and was living in project/ but that’s been fixed. I’ll probably start on the other directories next week. Taking a break to browse through Atlas Obscura 🙂

And we have Samurai John Belushi dancing it up:

Couldn’t find a good clip of the deli one, sadly. That’s one of his best.

We also have the best way to hunt mosquitoes:

That’s one way of doing it but it’s also a good way to get blacklisted by search engines. They don’t generally like 18+ sites, even if the content is relatively benign

For now, I went with defs.h and defs.cc but can change it later. All files in the old esm/ directory have been overhauled and pushed up. Will update the paths at the end just in case there wind up being additional changes (it’ll also help keep the commit log tidy) 🙂

Here’s the full commit message:
File changes:
- Remove <code>Esm</code> prefix

Always wanted to give FreeBSD a try but never got around to it. Unfortunately, I’m not able to on the current system as System 76 doesn’t provide driver packages for BSD. Most of the hardware would work fine with the drivers in the repo but they’ve got a custom fan controller that would require some special drivers. Makes, sense, though as they…[Read more]

Really not sure. Looks like VS Code leverages the system’s compiler via settings so it would depend on whether or not it handles the code generation as well. Based on it being a trimmed down VS, I would assume not but could be worth a try. Not in the repos over here (it was in one of the distros I used but may be worth grabbing the official DEB at…[Read more]
